Alternative splicing of transcripts

Alternative splicing of transcripts
Another regulatory mechanism in eukaryotes involves alternative splicing described in Expression of Gene : Protein Synthesis 3.  RNA Processing (RNA Splicing, RNA Editing and Ribozymes). The expression of a large number of genes has been shown to be regulated in time and space by this mechanism. In this mechanism, the splice sites selected by splicing machinery depend on the conditions demanding differential expression of genes.
